High Tea With Santa at the QVB

Pinkies up, little elves! Christmas is getting a fancy makeover at Sydney's iconic Queen Victoria Building, where High Tea with Santa 2026 is serving up a delicious dose of festive magic!

From 19 November to Christmas Eve, families can step inside the magnificent Tea Room QVB for an enchanting Christmas high tea, complete with scrumptious treats and a very special visit from Santa and Mrs Claus. And with glittering chandeliers overhead and beautifully dressed tables waiting, this might just be Sydney's fanciest date with Santa!

A Festive High Tea Fit for Little Elves

At The Tea Room QVB, families can settle in for a luxurious two-hour Christmas celebration inside one of Sydney's most beautiful historic venues. The Christmas-inspired high tea features delicate pastries, freshly baked scones and sugar-dusted goodies, all served in the grand surroundings of the QVB's stunning ballroom.

And while the grown-ups enjoy a proper high tea experience, the kids have some serious Christmas business to attend to!

Meet Santa and Mrs Claus

The highlight for little Christmas lovers is a special meet-and-greet with Santa and Mrs Claus, where kids can share their Christmas wishes and pose for beautiful keepsake photographs.

Every booking includes a professional Santa photo experience with at least three digital images, so there's no need to worry about capturing the perfect family snap yourself. Each child will also receive a special Hey Doodle Jingle Bells Colouring Mat to take home, adding another little surprise to this magical Christmas outing.

With sessions running on selected dates right up until Christmas Eve, it's a lovely way to celebrate the season with the kids or start a new family Christmas tradition.
